Affinity Designer file in the dock - doesn't spring out when Affinity designer icon selected

[Edward_Goodwin]

Hello, 

I'm running the latest version of Mac OS (Ventura 13.2.1) with an uptodate version of Affinity Designer2.

I have a Designer file open but minimised into the dock. Normal behaviour in MacOS is that when I click an application icon in the dock, the last file used for that application will come to the front. If it's minimised in the dock it'll spring out onto the desk top.

For me, this behaviour does not happen with AD... the computer selects AD but the open file remains minimised in the dock.

Is there a setting that I've not selected to get the normal OS behaviour or is this a bug?

Possibly this known problem:

Thanks Walt.

Fingers crossed Serif come up with a fix. It's interesting that it even exists as a problem as I'd have thought it was a system/OS behaviour. But I know nothing about such things...
